The number one complaint we hear from homeowners interested in remodeling their kitchens is that they don’t have enough counter space. Well, the good news is that there are plenty of solutions for this daily dilemma. Once we find some ways to regain some space, there are always great solutions for re-configuring that space. So our first mission is to find space that is being under-utilized.
Kitchens with Color
There are many ways to introduce color into your kitchen. Remember the avocado green, gold and orange combination of generations past? Colors have gone cool since those times and there are many ways to use color, whether in the wall paint or with something more permanent like colorful kitchen countertops and backsplashes. If you are just starting out on your quest to find inspiration, look no further than our kitchen photo gallery where there is a wide range of styles, colors, textures and materials. I’ve included some of my favorite explorations in kitchen color right here…
Kitchen Remodel Process
Next to the cost of a kitchen remodel, one of the most popular questions we get in our kitchen showroom is “How long does the kitchen remodel process usually take?” The short answer for us is 10-12 weeks, but that varies with the scope of the individual project in addition to a few other variables. It is everyone’s hope that the project runs smoothly without any delays, but, with so many moving parts, we expect some surprises and have learned to deal with them efficiently. For example, we might get into a wall and find that there has been damage caused by leaky pipes or unwanted visitors (such as termites). But, no matter the exact situation, we at Kitchen Design Concepts pride ourselves on open and regular communication with our clients so that together we make the right decisions in a timely manner to keep the project humming along. The basic kitchen remodel process consists of the steps below, however, there are many activities that occur at each step, especially in the construction/installation phase.
Pull Out Drawers, Cabinets and Shelves! Oh My!
One thing I love about designing and remodeling new kitchen spaces for our clients is the chance to incorporate little luxuries that make life so much easier! Pull out cabinetry in the way of shelving, spice racks and even trash and recycling makes a world of difference in the level of love you have for your kitchen. Check out these kitchen amenities below and start thinking about ways you can improve your kitchen (and your life)!
